 * This plugin needs some optimization done. First of all the plugin loads 3 different
   fonts. 2 are Google Fonts and 1 is from another website.
 * You should have it set to inheirt the theme fonts and to not load these 3 different
   fonts. Or allow it in the theme options.
 * Also combine all the fonts into 1 file to reduce http requests.
 * Now for the icon fonts such as Font Awesome. You are loading it without an ability
   to turn it off. The problem is most themes already include Font Awesome or its
   added by another plugin. Allow us to turn it off as it adds to the load time.
 * Something else I am puzzled at is the fact this plugin loads these styles on 
   all pages. It’s only used on the groups and members pages. Therefore it should
   only load the styles on those pages.
 * Finally I like the work that you have put into this plugin and I hope you push
   for more speed with it.

 * Also the plugin makes some changes to the admin panel CSS that makes it difficult
   to navigate. Go into the Pages menu and if you have more than 1 page of pages
   then the navigational menu is not going to work properly, as you will see the
   arrows are pushed under instead of being placed next to it.

 * The smartest way to solve the issues with CSS with this plugin is to only load
   its CSS on its own page.

 * This would solve all the issues that is occurring with other plugins, and the
   admin CSS.
 * I can confirm that the CSS for JetPack, WordPress Core, and Certain themes are
   being broken.
